I agree with garytomaszewski. The diesel will give better fuel economy at all levels but by how much depends on how you are using it. Under light load the 656 gas will burn a little more - but with current fuel pricing it would have to burn at least 50% more for the diesel to be cheaper. If you're going to gut it out and do field work with it go with the diesel, if its going to be a loader tractor with light use go with the gas. You can buy a lot of fuel with the $1500 and the cost of new tires.
My brother learned this going from his 14 MPG V10 gas super duty to his new 16 MPG 6.2 diesel super duty.
